My wife and I have been going to this beach 2 or 3 times each visit for 12 years and never had a problem. Once in a while bushwackers are around but if you go to the left of the beach where the hill is above you they usually don't come around that area. Like all places, I keep a lookout for my surroundings when walking a place like this. Danny still doesn't have umbrellas but still has chairs. We bring our umbrellas with us. If you come in off of the dirt road I believe it is called Ru de Friar's Bay, which is right before the two outside basketball basket ball courts turn left on that dirt road and you will come to a white fence that has a gate that is locked. Park your car there and you will see a trail thru the fence on the right side. That is where all the locals come thru and where Danny comes thru. It is flat ground and leads you straight to the beach. It has been our favorite beach along with Baie Rouge with a little more privacy. There are more of the jet ski excursions that go there now but only a few come on the beach but if you stay to the left, you are usually on the other side of them.
